Where Did You Come From?

I was about to make my way back from the herds.. when I saw something move in the tall grass.. I stood there watching to see what the heck it was.. when out popped a small boy.. He was between me and a large bull bosk.. so moved slowly towards him. not to startle the bull.. When I got close enough I scooped him up and carried him far enough away from the bull.

I did not reconize him.. must be a little one from the outerwagons.. I got down to his level.. So how who are you and where did you come from? He looked at me with those large dark eyes.. and pointed towards the outerwagons.. He looked at me so seriously.. as he said he was called Thirsty... I tried not to chuckle.. as he went on: Momma calls me Thirsty :he took a deep breath: cuz I like to dink water alls the time.. :he then smiled up at me: So where are you parents now? I thought and why is he out here all alone?

He puffed out his chest.. and then crossed his arms.. :Theys losted.. Well that made my brow rise as I looked down at him.. So do you know where you wagon is?

He smiled at me and nodded: Mes not losted theys are.. So I hoisted up on Cloud and I got up behind him.. and said led on oh little warrior... a grin to my face..

So off we went.. when we got closer to those wagons.. I stopped Cloud and slid off.. and plucked him down.. Well there are thousands of wagons.. but he seemed to know where he was going as he slid his small hand into mine and tugged me along a well worn path.. Probably how he found himself out in the herds.

As we got closer you could see that something was out of place.. people were running around... looking under wagons.. and then I heard his name being called.. he grinned up at me and exclaimed: "Thats me! I am Thirsty.. .. a quick nod of my head as we moved closer.. I could see a young woman fretting near her wagon. a warrior rubbing his temples.. as he broke loose from my hand and ran towards them.. He looked back at me and yelled.. We founded them! I walked towards the parents.. as the father picked up his son and flung him around in the air.. Thirsty where have you been? I stopped not far from their wagon.. as the little boy explained he was looking for them all over the place and that this lady :he pointed to me: brought him back here.

The warrior walked towards me.. a wide grin to his face as he explained. the he and his mate.. seemed to get lost quite abit.. and Thirsty has to go looking for them.. I understood perfectly.. Well I am glad he found you... He was this close to being walked over by a large bull.. The warrior and his mate thanked me.. and I turned and headed back to the beast.. I felt a slight bump that nearly knocked me forward.. when I felt those small hands wrapped around my knees..He looked at me so seriously. You can come help me find my mama and da anytime... I ruffled his hair and gave him a smile.. Why little warrior I would be most honored to come on your search adventures.. He gave me a nod and ran back to his parents.. I noticed his boots and made note to get a new pair sent to his wagons..
